December 21, 2022 5:50 PM EST | Source: Centaurus Energy Inc

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - December 21, 2022) - Centaurus Energy Inc. (TSXV: CTA) (OTC Pink: CTARF) (the "Corporation" or "Centaurus") announces that on December 21, 2022 (the "Effective Date") it will complete the consolidation all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation on five-hundred to one (500:1) basis (the "Consolidation"). Centaurus' share capital will begin trading on a post-consolidated basis under the same stock symbols: TSXV: CTA at the opening of markets on December 23, 2022.

The Consolidation is expected to bring enhanced liquidity to the Company's common shares, for the benefit of existing and future shareholders.

Under the Consolidation, every 500 common shares held by a Shareholder the Effective Date, each Shareholder will, as a result of the Consolidation, receive one Common Share after the Consolidation takes effect. There are currently 544,059,237 common shares issued and outstanding in the share capital of the Corporation. Upon completion of the Consolidation, there will be an aggregate of approximately 1,088,118 common shares issued and outstanding in the share capital of the Corporation, subject to rounding.

No fractional common shares will be issued in connection with the Consolidation. Fractional shares will be rounded down to the next whole number of common shares and the Shareholder will not be entitled to any further consideration. If, as a result of the Consolidation, a Shareholder would hold less than one Common Share, no shares will be issued to the Shareholder and the Shareholder will not be entitled to any further consideration.

The exercise price and number of common shares of the Corporation issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants or other convertible securities will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the Consolidation.

Centaurus has prepared a Letter of Transmittal which advises of the Consolidation and provides details to shareholders on how to surrender the old shares and obtain new shares representing the number of common shares to which they are entitled as a result of the Consolidation. The Letter of Transmittal has been filed on www.sedar.com and will be mailed to the registered shareholders of Centaurus.

Non-registered shareholders holding common shares through an intermediary (a securities broker, dealer, bank or financial institution) should be aware that the intermediary may have different procedures for processing the Consolidation than those that will be put in place by the Corporation for registered shareholders. If shareholders hold their Common Shares through intermediaries and have questions in this regard, they are encouraged to contact their intermediaries.

In Canada, the vast majority of shares held by non-registered shareholders are held through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ("CDS"), which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms. Notification of the Consolidation will be sent to CDS through a CDS bulletin.

Until surrendered, each share certificate formerly representing common shares will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of common shares to which the holder thereof is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.
